Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur

Bukit Bintang (GPS: 3.14678, 101.7113) is a downtown neighbourhood of Kuala Lumpur. The aream which somewhat overlaps the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, is served by Jalan Bukit Bintang, and encompasses the surrounding smaller roads. The Bukit Bintang neighbourhood can be split into two halves by Jalan Sultan Ismail. To the east of that road are large shopping malls and upscale hotels. West of Jalan Sultan Ismail, and particularly on the north side of Jalan Bukit Bintang, are smaller shops and hotels.

In addition to being a major shopping destination, it is also famous for street food, which is concentrated along Jalan Alor, a small road that runs parallel to Jalan Bukit Bintang. This area - as is the whole Jalan Bukit Bintang itself - comes alive at night fall.

The name Bukit Bintang, which means "star hill", refers to a physical entity. You can see the incline going up when you drive west along Jalan Bukit Bintang from Jalan Tun Razak. However the hill is not sufficiently steep to show its appearance, as the area is nowadays towered over by high rise buildings.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
